Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Encircled (Third Update!)

In the midst of a vast ancient forest, the figures of Su Han and his companions appeared.

The trees in this forest seemed to have lived for tens of millions of years, with trunks a hundred meters wide, and just one tree could cover the sky, making the place utterly chilling.

“Hmm?”

Just as Su Han was about to say something, his brow suddenly furrowed, and he grabbed the others and rushed towards the void.

“Buzz~”

At the very moment they surged into the void, a flash of earthy yellow light flickered across the ground and was gone.

“Pavilion Master, what was that?” asked Shangguan Mingxin.

“We’ve been discovered,” Su Han’s expression darkened.

“Discovered?”

Lian Yuze frowned and said, “Is that possible? We’ve been running for so long, and the Pavilion Master used Wind Element magic at nearly the fastest speed. Could someone be faster than the Pavilion Master?”

“It’s not about being faster than me. That was an Earth Magic reactive spell, capable of sensing our presence,” Su Han said with a stern face.

“What Feng Wuya said was right; he indeed notified the other ancient city’s powerhouses. Judging by the range of the Earth Magic’s sensing, the person who cast the spell must be at least a Sixth Order Great Archmage.”

“A Sixth Order Great Archmage?!”

Lian Yuze’s face changed drastically. As a mage himself, he was acutely aware of the difficulties in cultivating magic and the strength of high-ranking mages.

The power of a Sixth Order Great Archmage was terrifying, and on the Dragon Martial Continent, they could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Dragon Emperor Realm!

That is to say, at least one Dragon Emperor Realm powerhouse was pursuing them!

“Buzz~”

Within the void, a buzzing suddenly arose, and immediately afterward, the space in front of Su Han and his group began to distort.

Not just in front, but also behind them and even to their left and right, the space twisted at that moment.

“Abyss Prison!”

Su Han’s face grew even more somber, “Another Sixth Order Great Archmage!”

He was all too familiar with this spell because he had previously used it against Liushui Wuhen and Duanmu Ci, and at the site of the Dragon Blood, he had trapped a Mercury Illusion within an Abyss Prison.

However, this Abyss Prison was being used against him, and it was cast by a Sixth Order Great Archmage, so its formidable power was self-evident.

“Another one…”

Hearing Su Han’s words, the faces of Lian Yuze and the others changed again.

It was an ill wind that blew nobody any good.

After the Abyss Prison sealed them in, the sky above suddenly darkened.

A single raindrop fell from the sky, its origin unknown.

Indeed, it was a raindrop, and indeed, it was only one.

“Dodge!”

But Su Han shouted loudly, grabbed Xiang’er, and at the same time, took Lian Yuze and the others and dashed fiercely backward.

This instant seemed to slow to a crawl as the raindrop fell through everyone’s line of sight, getting lower and lower, until finally, it struck the ground.

The moment it hit the ground, a massive block of ice suddenly appeared!

Almost the entirety of the ground space contained within the Abyss Prison was covered with these bone-chilling ice blocks that seemed to penetrate right to the heart.

*Hiss!!!*

Lian Yuze and the others drew a sharp breath when they saw this.

Liuu Feng, Hong Yu, and even Shangguan Mingxin finally felt deeply the terror of High Order Mages at this moment.

Just a single raindrop, no bigger than a fingertip, had turned thousands of kilometers of land into blocks of ice. What if there were two drops? Three drops?

Or even… like real rain?

All of them looked up, and in their gaze, one raindrop after another began to fall from the dark clouds.

“Pitter-patter! Pitter-patter!”

The sound of raindrops hitting the ground at this moment was like regular rain.

But everyone understood that this was not a normal rain, this was a rain that could take lives away!

The raindrops became more and more frequent, from an initial one drop, two drops, three drops, to swiftly changing into dozens, hundreds, thousands…

Su Han and the others flickered in and out of sight, trying their best to dodge the raindrops.

As for Su Han himself, he was not too afraid. Although he was a Fourth Order Grand Mage, two orders lower than the person casting these raindrops, his research into magic allowed him to easily break the ice.

But it was different for Lian Yuze and the others. Once encased in ice, they would likely become ice sculptures in an instant, and their souls would also be frozen along with them.

“Four Saints—Black Tortoise!”

Seeing the rain intensify and finally turn into a torrential downpour, with dodging no longer viable, Su Han spoke up and cast the Magic of the Four Saints again, manifesting the enormous Black Tortoise above their heads.

Raindrops fell on the Black Tortoise, and it was clearly visible that its massive form was rapidly shrinking. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Su Han knew best that this was due to the Black Tortoise being eroded.

At this rate, the Black Tortoise would keep getting smaller until it completely disappeared.

And when that happened, it would mean that Su Han’s Magic of the Four Saints had been broken.

“If you do not flee, this old man can spare your lives.”

Just then, a voice suddenly came from ahead.

Su Han turned to look, only to see a screen appearing above the twisted Abyss Prison.

In the screen, a colossal Void Warship was advancing at unthinkably high speed.

Standing on that Void Warship were hundreds of figures, and the one who had spoken was that elderly man.

By the old man’s side, the young man from Qingyang Ancient City was smirking coldly, looking at Su Han as if he was looking at a dead man.

“They are on that mountain peak!”

Su Han pondered for a moment and said, “With the speed of this Void Warship, it can arrive here in three more minutes.”

What he meant was, to stay alive, they must break the Abyss Prison within three minutes.

If they failed to do so, they might not even have to wait for the Void Warship to arrive—the torrential rain alone would be enough to freeze and kill them all.

“Indeed, you only have three minutes.”

The old man looked at Su Han and said indifferently, “Originally, being a Fourth Order Grand Mage is not bad, but in the Demon God World, a Fourth Order Grand Mage is far from enough.”

Su Han’s expression turned gloomy, and he ignored the comment.

This was definitely the greatest crisis he had faced since his rebirth in the Dragon Martial Continent.

Even with his extensive research into magic, breaking the Abyss Prison cast by a Sixth Order Grand Magister in three minutes was difficult.

“Surrender, and transfer your magic to this old man, and I can spare your life,” the old man said. “Such talent as yours is a pity to kill. It’s just a transfer of magic, after all. At least you get to keep your life, right?”

“Transfer?”

Su Han suddenly looked at the old man, his expression cold as ice: “You make it sound so simple. Do you really think I don’t know what transferring means? If I truly transferred it to you, let alone magic, I fear even my soul would belong to you!”
